Capellino's Cupcakes!

Pork Loin Lasagna and Healthy Creamed Spinach

Beet and fennel salad

How did we ever make this - it has beets and it came after the cleanse!

Salmon, butternut squash and dill mac&cheese

Part of the mac and cheese month! Mmm why don't we make this more often?

Hot Chocolate!

This post would make a lot more sense in the fall or winter instead of the spring, especially since both this winter and this spring have been unseasonably warm. But it doesn't matter: on a cold warm, snowy rainy drizzly day, a nice mug of hot cocoa can be just what the doctor ordered.

We had some extra dulce de leche from when we made empanadas. And when life gives you dulce de leche, you make lemonade hot chocolate!

This recipe was pretty rich - it was almost like a drinking chocolate - so you might consider adding more milk.  Or just some churros...

Pickles!

This is the recipe I used and the result. I used whatever spices I had. Lay loose on the cardamom.

Fish Friday: Deconstructed Sushi

A typical fast Fish Friday:  fresh salmon, served raw, pan fried salmon skin, a ripe avocado, and some brown rice. We serve it with soy sauce with a dangerous helping of wasabi.  Easy, fast, healthy, and delicious!

Even though we occasionally (and with some success) try more complicated dishes and meals, sometimes simple is best.  Like this blog post, for example.
